St. George, UT → Moab, UT · Regional long-distance move
About 287 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,670–$3,970, delivery in 1–3 days, 70 carriers on the St. George side and 1 in Moab.
Moab sits about 287 miles northeast of St. George, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $2,670 to $3,970 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 5 h 39 min.
On the St. George side there are 70 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1 around Moab (1 interstate). For an in-state move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Moab.
St. George has a population of about 108,713 and Moab about 5,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,215 and 1,118 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 287 road miles (243 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 39 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
No. Because both St. George and Moab are in Utah, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $440 to $630 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,280 to $1,880. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the St. George–Moab corridor.
